Adventist Resources for You: A Guide to Rebuilding the Family Altar

Family worship is essential for strengthening faith, fostering connection, and ensuring that Christ remains at the center of our homes. In this episode of Resources for You, Ted Wilson, president of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, shares a meaningful resource from the Family Ministries department, led by Willie and Elaine Oliver. Why is family worship so important? The Bible prophesies in Malachi 4:5-6 that before the great day of the Lord, hearts will be turned back to God and to each other. In Elijah’s time, the altar of God had fallen into disrepair, and today, many homes face the same crisis. Rebuilding the family altar means prioritizing time for daily worship, prayer, and reflection as a family. To help you reestablish or strengthen the habit of family worship, the General Conference Family Ministries department has developed Rebuilding the Family Altar—a free, downloadable resource designed to guide families in daily devotionals, scripture memorization, and practical faith application.
